4 bottles each of Angas King’s magnificent, $75 a bottle, 2017 reserve Shiraz. We tried this twice on the tasting panel and loved it both times- it looked even better a day after opening and has a bright future ahead of it. Ken Gargett said, ‘still very young … powerful with a long and exciting future. Seamless, with bright acidity and silky tannins plus a very long finish which maintains the intensity. Drink now and for 10 to 20 years.’ You’ll also get 4 bottles of Martin’s 97 point $150 a bottle McLaren Vale Shiraz, and 4 of Karl Scepter’s 93-point, succulent and chocolatey Barossa Cab. Finally a $200 a bottle, 96 point Barossa Cab Shiraz from Yaldara! Learn More

Love Kilikanoon reds? Love old vine McLaren Shiraz? This may be the pack for you.

3 bottles each of Kilikanoon Meymans Shiraz and the Meymans Shiraz Cab, both of which offer concentrated, ripe fruits, complexity and a sprinkle of the ‘fairy dust’ Kilikanoon seem to find somewhere in the winery when they are brewing up the good stuff.

Plus, 6 bottles coming your way of Curtis Small Batch, old vine 21 Shiraz. This might be our most reordered wine of the last coupl’a months and while the 96 points from a wine writer is a handy and deserved accolade, those repeat orders really tell the story of how stunning this wine is.

You’ll also be getting the superb Metala Legacy, the stunning Kilikanoon Clare Cab the deliciously slurpable Red Deer Cabernets.

We don't often offer you packs filled with aged reds, because it is hard to track down really high quality aged reds in decent quantities. Then the tasting panel have to agree on all of them and we're an argumentative lot when it comes to wine. Fortunately, the stars and planets have aligned in this selection of cellared reds, sourced direct from the winery. Mitchell's beautiful, 96 point 2015 Peppertree Shiraz. JJ Hahn's mind bendingly open and nuanced, 96 point, 130 year old vine Shiraz. Dandelion's exceptional Treasure Trove Grenache, off their Firehawk farm vineyard. 96 point, $200 a bottle Yaldara Grand. Farmers Leap’s full tilt, well oaked ripper from the 2016 vintage and Angas King's stunning, 2017 Reserve Shiraz from the Clare. Delicious wines, one and all, all drinking beautifully right now.

Just the good stuff here for less than $25 a bottle. These have all picked up 95 points or more somewhere and deservedly so.

The Brothers at War picked up a Gold medal and was just pipped for a Trophy at the Adelaide Show. Metala’s ‘1891’ Cab just scored 95 from Kim Brebach who called it a powerhouse and worth every penny of its asking price.

The Lienert Shiraz is made by former Penfolds St Henri growers and has exceptional clarity and depth of fruit. Kim Brebach gave it 95 as did Ray Jordan who called it exquisitely poised, with driving intensity, an excellent wine.

The Cutis Small Batch sports 96pts. and is old vine, black fruited, full tilt, McLaren Vale Shiraz.

Finally, the Yaldara Grand also has 2x96 and a 95’er and is incredible- mixing black fruited power with a elegance which makes it something very special indeed.

A wonderful selection of red wines from the Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills, Langhorne Creek, McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley. The Sieben Klon is a 95 pointer made by former St Henri growers, the Metala Legacy is as good a Cab as the Langhorne can make (which is mighty fine). Dowie Doole's Shiraz has black fruits, but also, and much rarer, blue fruits too. It is a belter. If all Shiraz had black and blue fruits, no one would buy anything else! Lone Palm's Old Vine Grenache will sell out in a few months and the Angas King Reserve is incredibly fresh for its age and has at least a decade ahead of it. We're predicting a lot of staff orders for this one. Learn More
